Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect Increasing irrigation water salinity increased sandy soil ECe across the three listed levels.
- Intervention effect Irrigation water salinity significantly decreased maize grain yield, 100-kernel weight, ear weight and plant height.
- Intervention effect Irrigation water salinity did not significantly affect fresh or dry weight or chlorophyll content.
- Intervention effect Foliar salicylic acid increased maize grain yield.
- Intervention effect Salicylic acid at 200 mg kg-1 increased grain yield by more than 50% of maximum yield.
- Intervention effect Salicylic acid had a gradually positive effect on grain yield, chlorophyll content and ear weight.
- Intervention effect Salicylic acid did not significantly affect 100-kernel weight, height, or fresh and dry weight.
- Intervention effect The highest grain yield occurred with salicylic acid under control irrigation salinity, at 866.49 g/plot.
- Observation Irrigation salinity and foliar salicylic acid interacted statistically.
- Mechanism Authors inferred that foliar salicylic acid contributed to maize salinity tolerance.
